• Fear and worry about your own health and the health of your loved ones

• Worsening of chronic health problems
• Worsening of mental health conditions
• Increased use of alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs

Mind Body exercise explores that relationship.
	The YMCA is also offering access to workouts on its Y360 platform. Check out these mind and body videos with an effective combination of traditional movements and mindfulness using flexibility, breathing and strength.
